Thanks to some ideas from Dave Robbins, K1TTT I was able to determine that
the rotor cable had been contaminated. It appears that my lawn service guy
nicked it with his week wacker allowing water to get into the cable. I
replaced it with a length of premium rotor cable and a new connector for the
rotor which I had in stock and all is well. Thanks Dave and the others who
responded. - Mike

Subject: [TowerTalk] Yaesu Rotor Question
I have a Yaesu 1000 DXA rotor on the tower. It is in a NORTH centered
configuration. Recently, I have noticed that when I am rotating the antennas
to the southeast (anything south of east for all practical purposes) the
rotor 'springs back' or backtracks after I have let off the rotational
control button...sometimes as much as 20 degrees of rotation. It is almost
as if there is a SPRING or something pulling back the antenna. Anyone ever
have this happen, and if so what was or is there a fix? Thanks for
eading. - Mike
